Last day of the Zillingstürme im Herbst event. Remember to do any stages in the event if you haven't already. Il Siracusano rerun up next, then Degen event afterwards.
How are your pulls plans forward, got anyone in particular you're planning on pulling or get up to a certain pot?

Is Doc really beyond any chances of redemption and freeing himself from further suffering? And if he regains his pre-amnesia memories then definitively he'll take a blade, take a car, drive out of Rhodes Island off to some middle of nowhere and contemplate suicide.
After the Babel event, it's clear that only friggin time travel would allow him to fix all the shit that happens in the game.

Depends how far your "not super far" is. If you've got good chunk of ops developed, stick with them. Even if you get some modern meta rerolling it wont get you far without investments so it will be a loose in the long run.

Stay. There's no way to get Yatoalt ever again and most recent stuff (last year) are made around her and Texalt.
E2+Mod Cuora (S2M3, could be your first E2, better be a low rarity you will always use + survivability)
E2+Mod Texas (S3M3)
E2+Mod Yatoalt (S2M3, S3M3)

Drop Siege near the crossroad immediately where the first enemies appear.
Quickly drop Spot next to the 2nd lane if you have enough DP. Also drop a medic near them.
You need an Executor class operator to quickly drop on the lane down to block the Senior Casters long enough to deploy Hung on said lain. So drop Rangers and put in Gravel if you have her.
Put Platinum and Diamante near Siege and drop in Ethan.
Remember that there should be complete medic cover because the upper lane will have a Senior Caster appearing.
BTW, drop Lappland a tile further from Hung.

Everyone wants Talulah at one point to be playable.
I on the other hand want the story to reveal that she became Queen of Victoria, but instead of limiting herself to a puppet queen, she goes full queen and pushes reforms that not only makes the lives of Infected folks better, but also forcing safety regulations in factories that would at least greatly limit the number of infections. Not to mention recreating Gaul and Tarant, but as vassal states (yet with enough autonomy to keep their cultures intact).

Ideally, you should've joined at or before the MonHun collab at the least, since it had one of the most busted characters in the game and gives you more than enough time to build up your roll currency, but right now is your best time. The R6S collab is one of a handful of limited events, and it also happens to have Ela, a meta character that is perfect for newbies. If you join now, or at least before 19, you can nab her and maybe even another meta character (Surtr) from the standard banner.

Should I pull for Ascalon? I have hundreds of pulls banked so I'm safe for the next limited banners, and I guess she seems pretty cool. I already pulled to first 6* and got a first time Saga. Fucking crazy I got her only just now, I've been playing for a little over three years.

Doc (You) did nothing wrong though.Your race spent millennia observing the rise and fall of countless civilisations, the birth and destruction of planets and galaxies. Their final conclusion was that everything is meaningless and they couldn't escape from the inevitable.Originium was the final solution your entire race with their millennia of experience came up with, but somehow the ideals of a cute pink haired girl can trump the inevitable?Obviously I know this is a game so there needs to be some hope and a way forward to tell a story.
>>
>>1605056
Doc dida shitload of bad stuff he now regrets and the Ancient's plan of turning Terra and everything organic into a planetoid chunk of not!Tyberium is also probably futile due to the eldritch aliens the doc described as lumberjacks out of nowhere probably would tank with ease whatever the Ancients wanted to throw at them.

Meh, who cares. Everyone has been at that point and everyone's just trying to get the points.
I've got plenty of maxed out ops - sometimes I do next to nothing because the person I'm playing with puts his ops in front of mine or he places some unit that kills everything. Other times I get the most kills.
It's a very casual thing, don't overthink it.
>>
>>
>>1614336
Like most gatchashit you can play Arknights for free if you play casually, and the free rolls will pile up over time if you're checking in regularly. Also like most mobile games I would say whether you spend or not Arknights the game is basically designed to be enjoyed for shorter sessions, like maybe an hour a day. If you'd rather sit down to a game for 6+ hour sessions then you're better off on other platforms. Good luck, friend.
>>
This is more of a general statement than a response to that post but I really don't mind a little whaling in this. I don't go buying OP or anything but I used to pick up the occasional pack on top of the monthly card since I was aware that it was keeping me from spending money on other shit. It would be one thing if I were looking at it in a vacuum or if the gacha were as greedy as the average Mihoyo game, but with it being fairly generous, it getting regular substantial content updates, and it not requiring any attention to grind/farm it finally helped me quit playing MMOs (so far) for good and kept me from wasting my time and occasionally money on random games I didn't really care that much about. It's been a great novelty drip feed and since I started playing it's probably saved me way more money on random bullshit entertainment than I would've spent otherwise.

Is anyone playing on CN who could confirm something about the base QoL changes for me?
I just saw picrel showing that timers until fully rested are no longer shown in operator assignment. I've seen video showing that timers until zero morale are shown if you tap a working facility in the overview screen, so does it show everyone's timers until full if you select a dorm in overview in the same way?
I couldn't find a shot of that in any video about the updates and I'm trying to figure out how this affects me. I set timers for my daily base rotation based on those, so either it's visible by operator on the overview and streamlines setting timers a little, or it's gone and I should pay attention to how long they are. The latter isn't the end of the world since they're usually consistent within a few minutes but it would be nice not to have to commit the average to memory to stay accurate.

He's pretty cool from what I've seen and tried. I still need to see what s3m3 does for me since I cleared the story stages while he was in training but I might keep running Abyssal Hunters for the EX stages just for shits.
Haven't messed with s2 yet but I could see it being something I use in an AFK deploy or something depending on how the numbers measure up to alternatives.
>>
>>1629585
S2 turns him permanently for the rest of the stage into a rapidly regenerating tank with his health massively increased after he charges it up.
That's pretty good. It also increases his damage. So if you want this to work well at level 3, you should max him out to level 90.

>>
>>1634661
Yeah, I didn't realize they'd already added baby mode. I saw something showing that I could get away with doing the bare minimum to unlock a certain craft that just takes a little wood, harvest a shitton of wood, and basically just keep a save where I can craft the giant stockpile of wood into a million of the item, advance time so it cashes out points, then reload that earlier save so I can do it again. It should streamline the hell out of that process not having timed raid pressure.
I dunno, maybe once I got a better feel for what I'm doing I'd want to go back and try actually playing it legit but if I'm being honest I'd probably just keep bouncing off it so long as resource gathering is tedious.
>>
>>1634877 (me)
Also saw some rando's post saying that the event tasks you need to do can clear out the rewards without even necessarily touching RA2, but I'd imagine there's some low hanging fruit that could expedite the process, and I have rewards to farm anyway.

Meanwhile I pulled randomly for her and got her, IIRC. Single 10 pull, just like the Bloodborne guy a while ago.
Arknights and most mobile games are total shit to be honest. I initiated my account deletion today and in a few weeks the account will be gone. I've come to realize the game's a horrible skinner box and I've now reached the point where even ISW isn't fun anymore, due to how everything in AK and the mode is designed. I am sick of not having all characters available and even the ones I do have and are "maxed" aren't fully reinforced yet.
Only way I'll ever play this dumpster fire of a "game" again is if some guy comes up with a new private server client for PC or as apk.
People who play these games and defend the entire F2P/gacha monetization as a whole are deluded niggers. Almost as deluded as the average 4chan user these days, as no doubt someone will seethe about me saying nigger "outside of /b/". Few years ago no one gave a shit still, but this website and its moderation have also gone downhill since 2016. Gook moot can suck it.
For anyone reading this, in case my reply stays up in this rather dead thread, don't start playing AK too if you're interested. It's a garbage chink game that's dime a dozen. Any sort of positives like the "lore" and shit you could come up with is drowned out by the fact it's a game that's F2P trash, which does not value your time and neither your money really, as you could spend 10x off what the game could/should cost as a pay-to-play game, and you'd still only get a single character out of it.
Game could've been 40 bucks, but nah. It's F2P trash where you can spend $400 and only get a single guaranteed limited-time character out of it.
Never spent a single cent on AK and I am glad for it. I'm just sad that ISW is stuck inside of that retarded-ass game.

Had already forgotten about Endfail. Friend talked about the beta/whatever test last year, when you could sign up for it. All I remember is that a lot of the beloved characters are dead in that game, so what's the point? Again, chinks don't learn. They'd rather run with whatever makes the most money and somehow their writers always get their fucking way too. I am sure Arknights players would love a game where like 85% of their fav characters are dead. Depressing story for the sake of le depression XDDD is getting tiring. Lots of other games and IPs have done the same shit and it never ends well with players.
>>
>>1649947
Yeah, they walked back on that apparently. From what I understand they changed a ton of the story based on feedback, plus at least three Arknights operators have been featured as playable.
Who knows, maybe it'll be good. I'm skeptical and assume it's going to be a lot closer to Mihoyo bullshit than most people are comfortable admitting but I'll wait and see. I'm not invested or retarded enough to speak of a game that isn't even in beta in absolute terms.

It'll most likely be Genshin-esk slop anyway, but hey at least it'll keep the lore fags/waifu collectors happy. Last thing you'd want is ti piss off the crowd who pays your bills, like it happened with GFL2 and the Raymond thing.
>>1650504
>false
No, true. I forgot the numbers, but compared to something like Azur Lane you get around 1/3 the pulls, at most. On Slop Lane you get roughly 25-30 pulls a week (50-60 cubes) from everything including event rewards, comms, etc.
On AK you're barely scraping by most of the time. The only time you get a decent amount of currency is during those special events, like the anni and half anni, with often a full pull+ a day in currency alone and a free pull on a banner.
I've played AK for about 16 months and I've simply had enough. I am not a loser and will save up for 1 big pull every 6/12 months like I'm a peasant. On AL I've been pulling on every banner at least 50 times, often 60-70, and I had no issues affording that past an initial saving and screwing up period of around 3~ months after I started playing that game. In several years I've only ever missed out on about 8 characters, and 5-6 of those where from that initial period. The other 3 I've missed out on because I was either too low for comfort or couldn't be asked to drop another 100 cubes for potentially nothing. Very rarely I'd get very unlucky on that game, and very rarely I'd get very lucky. Most of my time I'd get average luck, as one you'd expect. And average luck isn't an issue when you get about 25 pulls a week and rates are 7% + 2% most of the time, as AL revolves around SRs which are 7% and 2% rate up. So not only do you get more pulls in AL, you have way better chances as well. 9% as UR characters are rare to get added. Even then URs are 2.4%. I don't care about FGO and its 0.0000000007% rates.
>just say AK is your first gacha XDD
It's was my second/third and I know how shitty gacha can be in general. AK has shit rates, cope.
>>
>>1650547
>People might think that the devs "reward loyal players" while they voluntarily slave themselves and defend this bad practice.
Exactly. They try to gaslight people into thinking loyalty is rewarded, like via those "thank you for your continuous love for AK!" mails you sometimes get, where they'll give you a few random materials and 1/3 of a single pull in currency. Best thing is that all mail you get has an expiry date. So much for "loyalty". The amount of extra currencies and ways to level and whatever is beyond infuriating.
Also regarding me glazing Azur Lane, as much I think the gacha is way better than what AK has to offer, it's still shitty gacha in the end and AL has by far the worse gameplay. AL is a waifu collector in the end and the whole way the dock works is gay. Dock space being limited is semi-okay, but there being no temporary holding dock for sortieing and the gacha pulls is stupid. I always keep 100-200 slots free just to not have to worry about cleaning things out every other battle. What kept me around with AL was shitposting in global chat. It kept me "playing" and spending. What kept me around with AK was ISW, but it has reached the point now where I simply don't have fun anymore and I am more so annoyed at how I am limited in how and with whom I can play. I don't like the stupid The Sands mode, I don't like the stupid VN or anything else. I genuinely hope some guy will make another private, updated client of AK one day so I can go back to playing ISW how it was intended to be played.
>>1650554
Yeah, same how you could've spent playing OW"2" for like 200 years or something to obtain all the premium skins for "free".
>>
>>1650608
Yeah, they have clearly never played ones like granblue, DBZ dokkan, or any bandai and nexon gacha really. They also talk about rates and dupes, when they clearly don't know that you need to spark to get something you want in a gacha. Try any mihoyo game where you need the character, several dupes to unlock basic features of that character, their signature weapon (which is also 50/50 on a separate banner) or their signature stigmata/lightcone/gear.
>>1651402
>>1651411
Didn't read your walls of vomit but AL is a collection mobage, retards. You can get 100% collection rate since you don't spend premium currency on getting characters. AL is the same type of game as Girls Frontline 1, where you can get 100% collection rate.

I'd like to see a dark horse that actually learns from its greats and flaws rather than playing something that tries too hard to look like real game, but in the end it's still gachashit.

Nah, it's pure greed. They only added auto repeat after HSR allowed their players to do so(both have the same limit of 6 runs btw).

Obviously it's pure greed. And the saddest thing is to think about the devs. I'd like to imagine that a lot of them despise the game they've made, as it's gacha shit that'll never live up to what it could've been. But I know that in reality a lot of these people probably not only do not mind, but likely think the game's great actually, because they too grew up with that sort of game and got used to the predatory practices.
>Releasing operators with def/res ignore and true damage was their greatest mistake.
Yeah, it seems that every other 6* that releases now is a walking fortress. Shu is a great example of a defender which is entirely busted. Tons of healing and other buffs while no downside to the block count or other things. Meanwhile operators like Aurora still exist for some fucking reason. A character which is entirely useless on her own and is still outclasses by other 5*s even when she has a proper setup w/ support.
I liked using non-6* characters, but the game heavily pushes you towards them where you'll eventually have to give in and start using them. 6*s have next to no downsides. They're the de facto operators to play with. It would've been better to just have "regular" characters and then "special" characters, where 6* = special and everything else = regular. But this way you're almost being actively punished for trying to use 5* ops at all. You're better off never using them and just sticking to the 6* slop and the few decent 4* characters there are.

Now imagine a world where ZZZ was a $40-60 game and that's it. A finished, fully-fledged product. I know that's a pipe-dream and nothing more, as even AAA studios can't manage that anymore, and really.. haven't for the past 6-8 years now. Even in 2013/14 we've day multi GB day one patches.
This shit's just beyond depressing, all of the effort and talent being wasted on this slop.

Fuck no. It doesn't deserve that big of a price when there really is nothing else going for it besides the animation and admittedly the character designs. Hell, I'd rather they just drop the game entirely and turn it into an anime. THAT'S something I'll pay top dollar for.

heya anons just saw the game is having its 5th anni soon, quick question. how easy is it to set up your account now?
lost my multi year account over a year ago and never restarted because holy fuck getting started is painfully slow.
it any easier to at least get a few operators to e2 nowdays or is it still a massive multi week slog per unit when you're just starting?
also is picrel returning any time soon?

What is there to debate, you dumb niggers? You are factually and objectively incorrect. If you don't like the game, there's literally hundreds of other gacha out there. I'm sure you can find one you like. Your opinions don't matter. My opinions don't matter. Modern gaming is about what makes the most money. Don't like it? Play indie or old games where they make games for actual gamers to enjoy, not to make stonks higher.
It doesn't matter how much cope you write, no one cares because at the end of the day, video games are about making money and shit anons says on 4chan will have 0 influence on what developers of video games do.

That's the point, genius. If it was a proper fucking game it wouldn't be the same as it is right now. Right now the game (and all other gacha slop for that matter) is undercooked with almost nothing to it. ZZZ, Arknights and etc could've all been very good if not great, proper video games. Instead they're gacha slop and nothing more.
And don't worry, I'm sure they'll churn out some 12 ep anime season eventually..

It's bullshit that Papyrus is one of the top.. let's say three or five cutest operators we've ever gotten and she's designed by possibly my favorite contributing illustrator and she's not worth the investment because I have Perfumer built.

the red one tablet don't need to be played on the bench to activate if they're maxed out. buy all three and then end the round without playing it.
same goes for the stage two tablet of that type, max that and don't play it. stage 3 does require being played but wait before playing it until you actually need the points to progress to the next round.
once you get used to that combo you'll be able to breeze through the final stage and endless mode as well.

How do you guys like IS5? I think it's pretty fun. I know it doesn't really count since I took Wis'adel as a starter, but I'm still pretty shocked that I got a clear on my first attempt going in totally blind. Maybe I just got lucky in what stages and midboss I got, but it feels to me like it's way more flexible in who you take, while in IS4 I think I eventually came to regret it on any run where I didn't have Reed Alter either as a starter or as a fairly early build.
Who are you using for starters? I'd rather leave Wis'adel benched so I'm not just letting one op carry everything but there must be some really strong picks since free 4* and cheaper 5* ops opens it up so much.

Finally I got all the medals from Jess's event rerun.
Couldn't get all of them since Flint was beyond terrifying.
All I needed is Ulpian, Lumen, Eyja Alter and Shu to keep healing the hell out of Ulpian and to un-stun him.
Ascalon also helped by hitting the heat generators. Also managed to get the trimmed version of the medal for beating him in both his phases. And each one I defeated while he was under the effects of the heat.

So how do you grade Lappy Alter?She's pretty broken when used in the right moment, but the Zarro Drones have screwed prioritizing AI.

Lappy Alter is fine I guess, honestly I haven't done that much thinking about where would showcase her. I can definitely see her having some solid use though.
Damn shame about Crownslayer since they made her so likeable, but given thatso much of her involvement in the event story and background from her time out of the spotlight is about her frustration over how powerless she isit would be a disservice to the storytelling around her if she WASN'T dogshit.

Yeah, but considering how long it was since the Reunion arc finished, and that some time in the game's setting passed, Crownslayer should've learned some new tricks, improved her fog/cloud arts, polished her skills further...but no. We can't have this kind of stuff.
They would have to release a Crownslayer alter where she actually took a level in badass.
Oh well. At least I have my Lappy and Suzu's mom.

I didn't know this is a thing now. I never touched support outside of doing CC medal. Now to answer my own question it looks like the triangle are special mark for operator that have M3 on all of their skills.
>>
That's a recent addition from whenever they updated base stuff. It shows when you have all skills on a support op at m3. So in picrel Canta/Jaye/Rafaela are m6, both Virtuosas and the first Wis'adel are m9.
And yeah, you can switch skills and modules on any operator as of the same patch. It was a godsend because I didn't have the 4-block module on my Hoshi or Nian and desperately wanted it for a couple stages last event.

Hey guys. Have a question for those who did previously Zwillingsturme im Herbst.

Since the beginning of Such is the Joy of Our Reunion I had this thing where every single operator started to generate 1 SP per 2-3 seconds. I had all the Sui Siblings in my squad but when I removed some of them for specific maps, this effect stopped being a thing.
Is this supposed to be normal, or is it a hidden trait for all Sui Siblings?

I don't think I'm going to bother with this event's medal set. Bastion defense is cool but a little samey, I fucking hate everything about positional football, and regular events are fun but my emulator keeps crashing when I get randomly matched into one that I don't already have three merits for. I've almost got the skin and none of the other rewards are really worth the grind.
I appreciate Hypergryph's creativity, and at least this isn't complete shit like Stronghold Protocol was, but I wonder what they could have done if they had spent more time playing to their strengths and less time making alternate game modes that don't measure up.to the core game (or to old CC, fuck you Pinch-Out).
>>

>>1834856
Bastion maps are unnecessarily big and don't have zoom out/minimap. It's the same problem with RA. Also my phone lagged hard on the last 2 waves on that map with burning reed. Even though I don't have the enemies and burning reeds within view it's still lagging hard.
>>
>>1834856
Managed to get all the medals before the event ended.
Also managed to get all episode 15 medals.
The last hell stage 15-4 was indeed brutal.
Had to use Shu, Logos and Ela to cheese my way through this. Hell, I had to use Wis, Ray, Surtr, Mudrock and Lupisfoglia to get through this stage. That and add to this three other Sui siblings to activate Shu's talent that generates one SP per couple of seconds for all operators with Yu boosting Logos with his S3.
It was still brutal but managed to win this hellish stage.

Pramanix has one of those gimmicks that sounds broken on paper but probably isn't that useful or good in practice.
The ice has an hp bar and I'd wager it takes time to refresh. So in the places where you'd most value leveraging turning the goals into tanks that can block enemies like high risk cc won't work that well because the types of enemies you'd want to stall will kill the blocks in one or two attacks and leak.
Silverash looks interesting but I think we'll have to wait and see what he does in practice. could be the most op bullshit ever or he could be kind of mid, I could see him ending up either way right now.

I figured Mountain’s English voice would be deep but making him southern wasn’t what I was expecting but I don’t hate it at all. Would be cool if they would give him an alt so I can have something to look forward to besides Pramanix’s alt while barely doing dailies and saving for months on end.

>Specter is my favorite waifu so far
>Got Liskarm and Mountain (free 10-pull)
My heart says pick Spectre here but my brain says to pick a healer or Lapland. I’ve spent 3 hours watching videos and reading shitty tier lists and all that’s done is make me more indecisive.
tl;dr
>Spectre or a healer?
>>
>>1909873
I'd say go for Lapland.
She is really useful when going through the campaign, less so later on when the devs figured out that she could make things too easy.
Spectre is only a better unit than Mountain if you need someone to be immortal for a short while. That doesn't happen that often - Mountain is a better choice most of the time.
That said, you can beat the missions in many ways. If it's important to get your waifu asap then get Specter. She's not a bad unit, just not as impactful as Lapland.

I went for spectre when I started last year then ended up never using her lol. warfarin and ptilopsis are the best longer term investments, lappland's a cheatcode when silence comes into play too and she's peak kino.

Yeah, she's not bad. You won't really regret her or anything.
I do wish we had a way to get kernel 5* ops more reliably and for cheaper/free. It's a stain on my account that at this rate I'll never get my last Warfarin pot, or the last 2-3 pots I need on most of the other "good" kernel 5*s. To make matters worse I get senior op tags less often than top op, and half the time I've seen senior it's been ALONGSIDE top so obviously I don't take it.

due to different shid i had to take care of i dropped the game and didnt come back since, also lost my account so no sex with lappland
what is the general state of the game now? is it as good as it was couple of years ago? in terms of engagement, would you say this game requires a lot of time and effort or could do as a side mobage?

they've added some qol features over the last couple of years that made keeping up a lot easier. weekly annihilation missions can be fully skipped if you've cleared the stage solo once now and they've added a feature so you can auto normal stages for up to six runs while running them once so dailies and weeklies take a few afk minutes now as opposed to the half hour babysitting they used to. raising up ops can be as long a process as it always was but those qol additions make it a lot better and the game's super convenient to stick with once you get past the normal hurdles of setting up your base and e2ing a couple of strong 6*s.
quality depends on what you liked about the game in the past. stage design is about the same quality sometimes a little better due to more involved gimmicks, integrated strategies has continued to evolve over time and the recent ones are a lot of fun while removing the design aspects that made prior ones more tedious.
the game has managed to mostly avoid the powercreep pitfalls of other gachas where they release a crazy op unit then scale all content to that unit and repeat the process infinitely. not to say there hasn't been a couple of wincon tier ops released, just that content didn't scale to them so they're optional easy modes rather than essential units. instead they generally try to release units with varied and powerful gimmicks so gameplay remains fun and isn't in a boring numbers race.
if you're a lappland fan she got a limited release last april so if you're starting over you've got time to go for 300 pulls and spark her. oh yeah and you'll be able to grab a free lappland from the new player selector tickets.
